With Sylvan Heights, Naiknavare & Associates become the first
private Indian property development company to use the revolutionary Aluform System in their construction. The system is strong, durable, low maintenance and environment friendly, and it has raised the standards of fire, termite and earthquake resistance manifold.
In use the world over to successfully construct thousands of low and high rise buildings, no other construction system matches Aluform’s complete flexibility in handling all design conditions.
The System
Aluform is noted for strength, quality, and adaptability, and is unique because it forms all of the concrete in a building without recourse to timber or plywood. The system consists of hundreds of standard pieces of Aluminium formwork equipment, manufactured to fine tolerances. Once these standard formwork components have been chosen, a daily cycle of work is established to coordinate and manage the construction process, including
activities like the fixing of reinforcing steel, duct works for the electrical and mechanical installations and the placing of the concrete.
The Result
Building construction rates of four days per floor including the walls against an average of three weeks per floor with traditional construction systems.
Material Benefits
- High strength is inbuilt with a state-of-the-art concrete pumping system that ensures far superior and stronger construction quality than any conventional brick / block filled RCC framed construction.
- Being a single and uniform structure also ensures complete protection against seepages caused by varying expansion coefficients of different exterior materials.
- Monolithic RCC load bearing walls and slabs mean substantially higher seismic resistance, offering far greater resistance to natural calamities than ever before.
- The fine tolerances achieved in the machined metal formwork components ensure that consistent concrete shapes and perfect finishes are obtained floor after floor, building after building, all conforming to exacting standards of quality and accuracy.
- Plumbing and electrical fittings are prefabricated with the certain knowledge that there will be an exact fit when assembled and dimensional accuracy will result in perfectly fitting doors and windows.
- And last but not least, Aluform creates a smooth external finish, capped off by using high-grade exterior paints.
